Kanawha County public employees to get first raise since 2008

Posted: Updated:

Kanawha County employees are getting a pay raise. It's the first increase since 2008.

The Kanawha County Commission voted Thursday night to approval a $1,000 raise for employees.

The raise will come in the form of a lump sum; commissioners didn't want to go with a percentage increase.

The raises go into effect in September.
